EIW bidding is now OPEN - please click here for more information. We encourage you to make an appointment with a counselor to discuss your approach to EIW and to discuss other job search activities you can begin over the summer. You can make an appointment online via Appointment Plus, or by calling the OCS front desk at 202-662-9300.

As we mentioned in the Fall Recruiting Orientations, each
year OCS sponsors a mock interview program to assist students with developing
and practicing interview skills. Alumni and volunteer attorneys from large law
firms in a variety of geographic locations interview students and provide them
with critical feedback on their interview performance. Interviews will be
conducted in the volunteer attorneys' offices. This opportunity is invaluable
to students who may be nervous about the interview process or have concerns
about their interview skills.

Registration for the Mock Interview Program is now open - click here to
sign up. The Mock Interview Program registration deadline is Friday, July
1, 2011.

We encourage students to sign up as soon as possible as matches are
made on a first-come, first-served basis. This is a popular program and, while
OCS makes every effort to match every student who signs up with an attorney, we
cannot guarantee that every student will be matched. If you are matched, you
will receive contact information for your interviewer on Friday, July 8, 2011.
After July 9, matches will be handled on a case by case basis.

The Office of Career Services has "rolled-up" your Class Year in Symplicity.
You are now categorized as the class year you will begin in the fall.

For
example, students who just completed their first year of law school are now
classified as 2Ls or 2Es, and students who just graduated are now classified as
Alumni. It is especially important for joint and concurrent degree students as
well as evening students who have switched to the day division to make sure
their class year is correct in Symplicity. Job postings will also reflect your
new class years.

Please verify that your Class Year is correct and contact us
if it needs to be changed. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the
Office of Career Services at (202) 662-9300.

Please see below for a list of important dates and deadlines for students participating in Early Interview Week, Regional Interview Programs, Government Interview Program, Resume Collects, and other programs this summer and fall.
